I believe in a lot of things; a few are floating along my brain like fine cotton in the field.
The miracles. Breaking the high jump record by a centimeter. Landing that one position which thousands have applied for. Feeling her soft lips pressed against yours for the very first time.
The second chances. Going for another jump to keep you in the game. Finding another job that's better suitable for you. Making up for the hesitant first kiss.
The callings. Being a high jumper. Becoming a manager. Winning her heart.
There's one thing I believe in, however, that I find most stiff and uncontrollable. It minds not my convenience nor yours. It is partial to no one and it pardons no one. It comes when it must. It unties the pretzeled knots to set matters straight. It usually takes a determined heart and good timing to cope up with this. If it were a person, it would be a head of an empire who gets what he desires at a whim and does what he wants without inhibition.
I have summarized the possible outcomes in four (not-so-well-though-of) equations:
Equation 1: Strong heart + Good timing = Best results
Equation 2: Weak heart + Bad timing = Worst results
Equation 3: Weak heart + Good timing = Pleasant results
Equation 4: Strong heart + Bad timing = Painful results
Among all the things I believe in, including the ones I have chosen not to mention, this is the one I have the most uncertain feelings for. I look forward to it and I try to escape from it. I love and hate it only because it is what it is. The inevitable.
